When helping a person injured in a road accident, the priority is not to make their injuries worse. So do not move the injured person unless there is imminent danger, such as fire, the risk of being hit, or another serious situation. Unnecessary movement can make internal or spinal injuries worse. Also, do not remove a motorcyclist's helmet unless it is strictly necessary and you know the right technique. Focus on making the area safe and calling for medical help.
